The UFC brings two cards to us in May. The first, UFC on FX 8, is headlined by a middleweight contender’s bout between Vitor Belfort and Luke Rockhold. That will be followed by the UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between Cain Velasquez and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva at UFC 160.
On tap are 24 fights, with plenty of opportunities for upsets and failures along the way. Such is life in the sport of MMA.
The matchmakers do not make life easy for anyone, especially oddsmakers and bettors alike.
Here is whom to bet on and whom to avoid in the fights coming your way in May.
